Commercial Residential Aluminum (CRA) has been at the forefront of aluminum construction in Florida since 1992. Founded by Tom Teffenhart, the company specializes in creating custom swimming pool enclosures and screened lanais. With a strong foundation in engineering and draftsman expertise, Tom established CRA to ensure structural integrity in design, initially utilizing traditional methods such as chalk drawings. The company gained significant traction and expanded its product offerings after partnering with Perry Hickok in 1992, who introduced extensive management experience and knowledge of the aluminum industry.
CRA stands out as the most recognized aluminum company in Florida, serving both residential and commercial clients across the state. Their product range now includes high-quality aluminum products such as patio enclosures, seamless gutters, railings, fences, carports, and much more. Each product is engineered using innovative techniques, including their patented ChannelLock Self-Mating beam, which enhances strength and distance coverage for pool cages while reducing costs for customers.
Believing in the power of customer relationships, CRA emphasizes honesty, respect, and the delivery of exceptional value. The company is committed to operating with full licensing and insurance, ensuring compliance with Florida’s building laws while also prioritizing hurricane readiness with certifications from Florida Builders and Miami/Dade. CRA operates mainly in several counties, including Pasco, Hillsborough, and Sarasota, continuously renewing its dedication to customer engagement and satisfaction. With a focus on innovation, quality, and service, CRA not only enhances Florida living but also sets a high standard for excellence in aluminum construction.
